Too much going on to be a frequent poster here...or infrequent. Yet I want to stay with blogging as a practice even while I need more thought on its structure for the future.
My neighbor Joella demonstrates a perfect solution for all those buttons we collected in second wave activity in last century--coast to coast. Hers in Oregon, mine mostly Baltimore and New York. Gun control is a shared focus through Ceasefire Oregon.
Marian Wright Edelman on Inauguration Day 2013 in conversation with Melissa Harris-Perry wears image of Sojourner Truth. Takes our feminism back to the 19th century struggle for African-American equality. Read Ta-Nehisi Coates in the March Atlantic on why the re-election of Obama matters even more than the first.
